(ACOA, Addiction & Trauma, EMDR, supervision toward licensure) Lisa believes in the innate strength of the human spirit and assists her clients in accessing this.

I offer individual therapy for adolescents, teenagers and adults. I specialize in sexual abuse, domestic violence and spousal abuse. Other areas include: • Addictive behaviors • Relationship struggles • Confronting and expressing difficult emotions • LGBTQ explorations, identity and community building • Anxiety/depression • Job/school performance • Grief over loss of relationship, job or loved one • Stress management As the therapeutic relationship deepens, often clients recognize their struggles are interconnected and wounds at the core level are experienced and processed. I am continually inspired by the resiliency of the human spirit and the possibility for growth in every moment.

I also co-facilitate groups for sexual abuse survivors and their loved ones.

My role as a counselor is to help you feel empowered. Together, we focus awareness on the things that aren't working in your life, so that you can decide what you want to change and what you don't. Therapy is a process that combines curiosity, exploration, and problem solving to create awareness for desired change. That change might come in the form of reduced anxiety and stress, mourning the loss of a loved one, or coping with disappointing relationships. My job is to give you tools to fill your toolbox, so that you have the resources necessary to manage life. My style of therapy is direct and engaging. I also use gentle humor when appropriate. I rely on a variety of professional techniques, including evidence–based therapies like EMDR, and CBT. Together, we will choose an approach that fits your needs,and builds inner resources.
